Polar Bear Recap Final Destination #14

Saturday, March 25th, 2023

Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Hello Fellow Polar Bear,

RECAP:

It was a cold rainy ride to our 14th and final Polar Bear destination. We had 7 members arrive at Classic HD for check-in. There were 7 riders and no passengers. I can’t understand why exactly. There was a large group of members who arrived to receive their Polar Bear Year Patch at the awards program.

A BIG THANKS’ goes out to Kevin Kodz and the Classic HD team for sponsoring the awards and the free lunch (who says there is no such thing as a free lunch) from J.R.’S Brisket and BBQ. Their brisket and pulled pork is some of the best. Apparently, their beans were a big hit also because they ran out close to the end of the day. It probably was a good thing that everyone left the building soon after the awards, if you know what I mean.

Below are the standings for the three recognized categories.

TOTAL POINTS: (the sum of points earned for sign-in plus miles ridden)

3. 8,816 – Harry Knerr

2. 9,837 – Todd Rimmer

1. 10,255 – George Miller

MOST MILES RIDDEN: (listing a few people’s mileage for Polar Bear Season)

5. 3,765 – Steve Smith

4. 5,378 – Kevin Blevins

3. 5,981 – Todd Rimmer

The next Polar Bear event and destination will be in November. The forecast as of now will be mostly sunny and a high of 60 degrees.

Hope to see you at the start of Polar Bear Season 2023-2024

Polar Bear Recap Destination #11

Hello Fellow Polar Bear,

RECAP:

We had another perfect day for a ride to our 11th Polar Bear destination. The sign-in sheet supports that. We had 29 members arrive at Wackers Roadhouse for check-in. There were 22 riders and 7 passengers.

The next Polar Bear event and destination is Saturday, March 4th at the Penguin Hotel. Sign-in time is 11:30AM-12:30PM. The forecast as of now will be mostly cloudy with rain and snow showers in the morning with a high of 47 degrees. I am sure that forecast will change. Phil only has one job to do so he better get to it and provide us with at least a just cloudy day.

IMPORTANT INFO:

There are 3 people with perfect attendance.

Hope to see you at the destination.

Polar Bear Recap Destination #10

Saturday, February 4th, 2023

Hello Fellow Polar Bear,

RECAP:

We had a nice cold Polar Bear ride to our 10th Polar Bear destination. 12 members arrived at Fitzwater Station for check-in. There were 11 riders and 1 passenger. The food was good and they even had a brunch menu. They had a brisket, peppers, scrambled eggs (I think there was more stuff on it) hoagie. Larry devoured it and said it was great. Thanks again Doug for the suggestion and recommendation.

The temperature was on the cooler side. For Todd and I the temperature was about 15 degrees when we left. Taking the backroads route we were traveling around 50 miles per hour. So as shown in the chart below, the temperature was really about -10 degrees. I don’t understand why the chart stops at 15 degrees because the chapter members have ridden their motorcycles in lower temperatures. I guess maybe I will need to search out another chart.

The next Polar Bear event and destination is Saturday, Feb 18 at Wackers Roadhouse. Sign-in time is 12- 1PM. The forecast as of now will be mostly sunny with a high of 42 degrees.

If you were never at Wackers Roadhouse before you don’t want to miss it. The restaurant is decorated with about 15 or 20 antique Harleys, a Leggero and an AMF snowmobile. I think there was an AMF golf cart also. Oh yes, I almost forgot the food and beer is good also (great ribs). The Wackers Brewery was founded in Lancaster in 1852. The Roadhouse is located next to Lancaster HD so you can also do a little bit of shopping also.

IMPORTANT INFO:

There are 4 people with perfect attendance.

Hope to see you at the destination.
